For what can often be Britain’s 🇬🇧 loneliest sport it’s been really special to finally have some Biathlon training partners!

Four pretty incredible athletes from the Army and Royal Marines, .markham ._ for two weeks’ training here at the Stockeld Park Biathlon Club.

Stockeld must surely rank as one of the greenest 🌳 🌲 🌳 and most scenic biathlon facilities in the UK, and where else can you rollerski past a mermaid, a huge teapot slide and a talking tree! 🤣

I really feel everyone has seen the value and hoping to make this the first of many. 💪🏻 🎿 🇬🇧

Zero right. Shoot right.

… or at least zero wrong and shoot wrong!

No matter how certain I am the rifle is zeroed I will ALWAYS start the session on paper. It’s good discipline and you just never know what might have changed since you last picked up the rifle.

Good few sessions this week on the range and on the skis, both on the rollerskis and on snow at Castleford for the hill training.

Most recent two shoots have had four and seven misses off 20 shots and feeling much more stable in the Stand.

Just on with 🇬🇧 British Airways adding the rifle to the booking to Salzburg for January. Roll on Ruhpolding 2024! 🎿 🎯

Amazing conditions to be out on our rollerski track yesterday evening. 🌳 🌲 ☀️

The course is a great mixture of gradients, winding turns and a few good straights, so plenty of options to mix things up.

A fairly big expansion to the course coming soon, with a second tarmac trail going down through the forest. Watch this space!

Grouping on today’s zero could be worse…

The shoot that followed OK, but better on prone than stand as ever.

The focus for the past couple of sessions has exclusively been on Stand, this by far being the weaker of the two positions for me.

I have identified a tendency to sn**ch ever so slightly at the point of pulling the trigger and also not to watch the bullet through to the target, both of which I believe to be major contributing factors to the misses.

Not brilliant this evening but not disastrous either, with fairly well-elevated heartrate using a combination of Jerry cans, sprints and press-ups before each round.

13/20 (2, 2, 1, 2)

What an evening to be out on the nation’s greenest biathlon range!

Somewhat frustrating session on the range this evening.

Only one miss on the prone (1, 0) but then 5 on the stand (3, 2).

More work holding the position off the range needed I think.

Wet 🌧️ one this evening round the 🌳🌲🌳 rollerski course but really smooth and comfortable for all that.

Anyone in or around Yorkshire fancies somewhere totally exclusive for rollerski (at certain times!) and combined with dedicated two-lane biathlon range, give me a shout. 💥
